Shoutout to Heartstopper for not having Darcy forgive or have any sort of relationship with their abusive mother

November 2022 vs July 2024! A year and a half makes all the difference.

I started teaching myself how to draw because of how inspired I felt by heartstopper. I never imagined I would actually ever be able to make art like this.

It's so exciting to think about what growth will come in 2025.

Happy New Year!

Also....2022 me sends a very sincere apology to Joe Locke 😬

The way I woke up so excited today because I knew that the newest update would include Sprolden.

I'm so excited that Tori is looking towards her future to find out what she wants to do (idc if she wants to go to uni or not I'm just happy that she's looking towards the future).

I'm so glad that its finally canon that Michael is going to be an Olympian and not just from the one drawing Alice did a while back (which was amazing btw and I think about it all the time fr).

Tori and Michael successfully doing long distance is amazing (and I think its giving Charlie some hope that long distance could realistically work for him in the future as well...)

I loved getting to see them again and I'm hoping to see the both of them again in the future before the book is over.

As a grown ass adult who found a home in Heartstopper, I sometimes wonder what my life would’ve been like if this show/the comics existed 20 years ago.

I’m so thankful we all have it now. Amazing that even at my age, I’m healing and being confident in my bisexuality.

Thanks @chronicintrovert 🩷

I think one of my favourite things about Alice Oseman and her work is that she does a perfect job of making every teenager feel heard and represented. Throughout the osemanverse, she has managed to capture the essence of all kinds of social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. On top of that, her characters all have a certain sense of relatability. for example, characters like Georgia Warr and Angel Rahimi - they really are just seemingly "normal" teenage girls, and yet, alice still manages to create an exciting and unique plot with these characters in the centre of it all. Along with that, she also represents mental health struggles in most, if not all of her work without making it the entire plot, which can help to educate a diverse range of people about certain struggles, while still keeping the integrity of the charicter. For example, Charlie Spring. Several types of mental health struggles are represented through Charlie's journey, and yet it doesn't become his entire legacy.

She's probably one of the best writers of this generation.

been thinking a lot about heartstopper recently (i mean always but this thing recently) and how elle’s painting at the here and queer art exhibition is a more … put together ? version of what tao creates in season 1 (that he shows elle in the art room during sports day)

i just think the friendship that group has cultivated is one that is so important for all of them that we see the theme’s threads through the seasons and i hope that continues in s3!!

I love Alice Oseman forever and ever, Amen.

Fear is normal and is expected,

all your emotions be well respected.

Close your eyes now and then clear your mind,

To yourself, now my love, be kind.

Like a river feeling flows,

good and bad, downstream it goes.

If you find your fear is strong,

let it pass, and move along.

Remember what it is I've told you,

till within my arms I hold you.

Repeat the mantra in your mind,

it goes beyond, "to yourself be kind."

"I call for peace from unholy clout,

power within, power without."

Once again, repeated clear,

like a spell, for you my dear,

"Power within, power without,

strength comes from the absence of doubt.

In through the heart, out through the mind,

fear will no longer make me blind.

Blood stains my teeth, blight fills my eyes,

I wither and let all my earthly fears die."

Isaac being ace and/or aro is so important to so many people and i’m actually so happy that Alice went that direction. i’m ngl i was confused with the James bit at first, but seeing him realise that he wasn’t “like everyone else” and then slowing learning that he didn’t HAVE to be. my little heart can’t take it.

it’s so important that we have this representation, not just for the people who identify as aroace (but YES that’s definitely a thing we need for them) but also for the people who might not understand and need to see that “hey, there’s more than just this this and this.” so many queer kids are going to see themselves in Issac and I think thats absolutely wonderful.

Also. Elles new friends. Slay. Showing us that people who aren’t cis come in all shapes and sizes, and that you don’t have to fit in one box. and the disabled rep with Felix? slay. absolutely wonderful.

queer is a word that encapsulates so many different people of different backgrounds, races, ages, genders, identities, shapes and sizes. and it’s important that we have that representation in the media.

so thank you to Alice for giving us such a wide variety to learn from and see ourselves in.

[the-tenth-arcanum]

[mikeysgerard]

Season 2 is now officially just over 12 hours old and I'm so happy guys... I am so, so happy Heartstopper exists. I've been floating all day, I love these characters, I love these actors, I love everyone who worked so hard to make all of this happen and so fucking perfect. Going to bed happy tonight. Really, really fucking happy ♡

Just finished reading Radio Silence

Alice still wins my heart with all of her books.

i cried.

i laughed.

i cried and laughed at the same time.

hands down, the best season. they did so well, stayed as true to the comic as they could and honestly some of the best performances from that cast. if i could give kit and joe a standing ovation i would. it's rare to really truly love every single episode of a season but i really did. it's a rough season but not negatively, it handles mental illness in a way that is impactful without leaving lasting damage. every single relationship had their time to shine and it was truly beautiful.
